The Xuanmen Machinery Hall continuously conducted research on mechs here. Many mechs were manufactured.
Su Han had been staying there, watching as the Xuanmen Machinery Hall researched and developed numerous mechs. Among the mechs that could be mass-produced, the most powerful were only at the Tribulation Passing stage. Mechs above the Immortal level could be produced on a small scale, and even Golden Immortal level mechs could be manufactured.
What the Dragon Country currently lacked were Immortal level mechs. Therefore, the Xuanmen Machinery Hall was now figuring out ways to mass-produce Immortal level mechs.
The most crucial aspect in the mass manufacturing of Immortal level mechs was the materials. The materials used to build Immortal level mechs were all rare heavenly treasures. Such materials had to be found or traded for. These materials were hundreds of times more expensive than gold.
To solve the problem of these materials, the Machinery Hall had been searching for substitute materials.
In one of the laboratories at the Machinery Hall, dozens of scientists were currently conducting research.
"Today, research institutes from various countries of the Dragon Country sent another batch of materials. Let's try which material works!"
"I'll test this batch!"
"Then I'll test this one!"
"..."
After measuring the materials, the dozens of scientists identified some that were usable based on the data. They then began to use these materials to manufacture small mechs for actual combat in space.
The method of actual combat was very simple. The Machinery Hall directly dispatched relevant puppets to engage them in battle. After all, the original puppet manufacturing sect of the Machinery Hall still possessed some Immortal level puppets. There was also that Golden Immortal level puppet.
The hall master of the Machinery Hall had also broken through to Golden Immortal cultivation with Su Han's help after pledging allegiance to the Dragon Country.
Soon, several small mechs were manufactured.
"Alright, the strongest among these materials is the one that can be used to manufacture Heavenly Immortal level mechs. Let's deploy these mechs outside for a thorough test!"
"Should we send puppets for testing, or the mechs from the laboratory this time?"
"Of course, we'll send puppets for testing. If we send the mechs, they'll be blown up immediately."
"..."
Soon, a Heavenly Immortal level puppet began to battle with several newly manufactured small mechs in space.
After a fierce battle, only one small mech remained.
"Hmm, very good. I didn't expect to find another material that can be used as the outer shell for Heavenly Immortal level mechs today. Let's continue testing this material. If there are no issues, then we will have the research institute that developed this material mass-produce it!"
"..."
While these scientists were conducting their research, Su Han was also observing from the side.
The hall master of the Machinery Hall standing next to him said, "Sect Master, we are still quite short of materials for Immortal level mechs. Of course, it's a lack in variety. We need to manufacture all sorts of mechs. Although we have many materials with various performance characteristics, those materials cannot support combat at and above the Immortal level. Therefore, we need to find materials with relevant properties that can support combat at and above the Immortal level."
Su Han asked, "What about the quantity of materials for mechs above the Immortal level?"
The hall master of the Machinery Hall replied, "Of course, the materials for Earth Immortal level mechs are the most abundant. After all, materials for Heavenly Immortal and Golden Immortal level mechs can be downward compatible."
At this moment, the deputy hall master of the Machinery Hall walked over, saying with a happy expression, "Sect Master, after using new materials for our intelligent module last time, the Golden Immortal level mechs will no longer go berserk."
Su Han asked, "Very good, is the consciousness operating system ready?"
The hall master of the Machinery Hall quickly replied, "This… ah…"
After a two-second silence, the hall master of the Machinery Hall said, "Sect Master, the consciousness operating system is still under development."
The deputy hall master of the Machinery Hall added, "Sect Master, we are actually lacking in talent for this consciousness operating system. After all, our Machinery Hall does not have such talent. Although we have borrowed many people from other research institutes, the progress is still a bit slow. It will take another week to produce a sample of the consciousness operating system."
Su Han said, "Another week? That's still quite fast. What are you so anxious about?"
The hall master of the Machinery Hall said, "Sect Master, after all, we have been manufacturing a type of mech in just one day during this period. Now it's going to take seven days, how can I have the face to see you, Sect Master?"
Su Han said, "Alright. You all continue to manufacture those mechs!"
…
In the following few days, Su Han began cultivating in space next to the Machinery Hall. He could now properly contemplate many things he had comprehended from the black jade stone previously. The energy and Dao principles he felt within it, Su Han believed, were related to those beings at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.
The miniature spatial rifts on Chu Yun Planet no longer required Grand Unity Golden Immortals to act. However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, two Grand Unity Immortals were still stationed there for surveillance. Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Golden Immortals were there eliminating the withered black creatures to gain merit from the Heavenly Dao. Su Han did not need to go there at this time.
After three consecutive days of comprehension, Su Han suddenly felt that strange sensation again.
A peculiar Dao principle appeared on Su Han's body.
Suddenly, Su Han vanished directly from space and entered a realm.
In this realm, the space was infinitely vast in all directions, but there were limitations in the vertical direction. Su Han felt a drowsy sensation within it. Su Han was greatly surprised, wanting to break free from this state, but he was completely unable to. He wanted to leave this realm, but he could not escape it.
The moment Su Han disappeared, the staff on the nearby spaceship did not show any surprise.
"Sect Master Su Han is gone!"
"He probably performed a spatial jump to another planet."
"I wish I could reach Sect Master Su Han's cultivation level too. That's Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation!"
"Don't even think about it. Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation isn't something you can achieve just by wishing for it. Let's focus on researching mechs. Once we pilot a mech, we can immediately reach Golden Immortal level strength."
"..."
